Proclamation (03:41)
Gentle Giant • Playing the Fool
You may not have all you want or you need
all that you have has been due to my hand,
it can change, it can stay the same,
who can say, who can make their claim

The situation we are in at this time
neither a good one, nor is it so unblest
it can change, it can stay the same,
I can say, I can make my claim.
Hail ........ Hail ........ Hail

Unity's strength and all must be as one,
confidence in you hope will reflect in me
I think everyone not as my nation for
you are my people and there must be no change
It can change, it can stay the same
I can say, I can make my claim

Hail ........ Hail ........ Hail
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Day by day.

You may not have all you want or you need
all that you have has been due to my hand,
it can change, it can stay the same,
who can say, who can make their claim

Unity's strength and all must be as one,
confidence in you hope will reflect in me
I think everyone not as my nation for
you are my people and there must be no change
It can change, it can stay the same
I can say, I can make my claim

Hail ........ Hail ........ Hail
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Day by day

Valedictory (01:39)
Gentle Giant • Playing the Fool
And though all the hard times,
are really due to me, it is still in me,
to wave all this unrest
Things must stay,
there must be no change,
anyway, time to rearrange

You must believe, that there's
been no betrayal all that I've done,
I've really done for you
Things must stay,
there must be no change,
anyway, time to rearrange

Hail, to power and to glory's way
Hail, to power and to glory's way

Must be a reason why plans
have turned around not only in me,
must also be in you
Things must stay,
there must be no change,
anyway, time to rearrange

hail ...

Funny Ways (08:31)
Gentle Giant • Playing the Fool
I'm sorry to have been so much of a bore
But in my own funny way I find I learn much more
I realise what you think from your eyes,
But in your own funny ways I find I learn much more

My ways are strange
They'll never change
They stay, strange ways

I'm sorry to have been so close from the start,
But for all that I cared we could be miles apart
I understood that you never would
Understand a way of life that I never could

My ways are strange
They'll never change
They stay, strange ways

Go your own way or wait for me
Go your own way or wait for me
Go your own way or wait for me
Go your own way or wait for me

And so you see what happened to me
Since the time when I judged my life in nights and days
I realised that my life was lies
So you see what I mean with all my funny ways
I'm sorry to have been so much of a bore
But in my own funny way I find I learn much more
Funny ways, Funny ways, Funny ways, Funny ways

The Runaway (03:54)
Gentle Giant • Playing the Fool
He is the runaway, Lie low the wanted man
Mask his elusive face, Soon he will getaway and free is his
future no more aimless time to spend
And evading, he's escaping
Four dirty walls and a bed in a cage his home no more.

Run in the underwood, Cover and hide the trail
Senses like sharpened sword, Guards for the shadow on his
tail.

And yet his joy is empty and sad.

All thoughts are scarred with the prison cell and freedom
seems like freedom's hell
Hopes stained with strange regret, His dreams are dreams
for that he cannot get.

And yet his joy is empty and sad.

Lose all identity, Vanish in own denial
Seeks only lies and hide, Truth never brought to trial.
And caught in his own net, he looks to find endless life and
evading, he's escaping
Four dirty walls and a bed in a cage his home no more.

Run in the underwood, Cover and hide the trail
Senses like sharpened sword, Guards for the shadow on his
tail.

Experience (05:37)
Gentle Giant • Playing the Fool
Once I was a boy, an innocent to life and my role in it,
This world played my game, and anyone a clown or foil for
myself

The harmless affairs, and no-one seemed to care for any
meaning
My life was my own, The debt I paid, I paid it only to
myself

The unseeing youth, how can it be so shallow and short-
sighted
These years passed me by, to realise the folly of these unripe
years

Now I am a man, I realise
My unworldly sins pained many lives
Yet I heard, heard with ears that wouldn't listen
And still I watched and I saw with blinkered eyes

But with age the conscience slowly dawns and bonds of
duty gently tied
All my sins, seen through now there is experience and
recollecting act in virgin guise.

Master inner voices, making the choices

Once I could rebel and consequences then had no reflection
And I am a man, And I am bound by adult age discretion
now

So Sincere (05:16)
Gentle Giant • Playing the Fool
Hear, he'll do it all for you, you will see it,
wise and knowing what to do, what to be
and every word is ........

Lies, he only tells the truth, for he means it,
means, not anything he says, eyes unseen,
but everything is ........

So sincere, so sincere, so sincere, so sin

Yes, that is to say no, understanding
wrong, he makes his promise right, with your hand
you'll never know why

So sincere, so sincere, so sincere, so sincere

So, sincere his thoughts so full, always empty
Good, or maybe things are bad, so sincere,
and every word is ........

So sincere, so ........
